1/7 Two attacks. Two communities. One country. @cfmmuk data reveals a two-tier media. A #Muslim community attacked in #Edinburgh got less than a seventh of the airtime across British news channels that was given to the Golders Green attacks in London. 🧵

MEND Statement on the Resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Keir Starmer's resignation paves the way for the seventh prime minister in a decade. Another change of leader must not allow for the same substance to remain. We see in it an opportunity to move the country toward a better future, but only if the next leader breaks with the failures of the past rather than repeating them.

The @ObserverUK decided to use a picture of @Bushra1Shaikh wearing a #hijab despite her no longer wearing one nor having done so for years, out of choice. This seems like a very deliberate choice of image.

Rep. Ilhan Omar sounded the alarm on India’s worsening persecution of religious minorities. “Reports coming out of India [place it at] the 8th stage of genocide,” Omar said. “It’s really important for us to continue to raise the alarm, because we know that it is not just the Modi administration that is causing havoc in India, but it is becoming systematic and it’s becoming societal.”

1/20🧵Since February's Gorton by-election, and the run up to the this week's local elections, we’ve tracked a surge in anti-Muslim framing with regards to Muslim voters.
Across the 1,000+ articles we analysed, 1 in 4 linked #Muslims to "threat."
Here's the full picture 👇🏽

The process to elect the government in Indian state of West Bengal has completed today. But the Election Commission of India, the top body to conduct election, failed itself, the people , the Constitution and the very idea of electoral democracy. You know why?

1/9 Tonight @BBCPanorama reports on rising #antisemitism. No equivalent film exists for #Islamophobia. This is not accidental. It reflects a hierarchy of racism embedded in BBC editorial culture, consistently prioritising #Jewish suffering over #Muslim suffering.
A thread. 🧵

Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling.
This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith.

🚨 FACT CHECK: Viral claim about a “Holi attack” in Harrow is a lie to stoke up community tensions.
INSIGHTUK claims without any evidence that “Muslim youth attacked Holi celebrations in Harrow.”
Authorities rejected it and confirmed the incident wasn’t targeted at any community

PM Narendra Modi’s visit & support to the Zionist regime in Israel which is committing genocide in Gaza is appalling. It shows Hindutva is not just an ally, rather admiring the genocidal regime as a model for its anti-Muslim genocidal project in India, as we previously stated
The intertwining of Hindutva and Zionism reveals a complex relationship with historical ties, ideological commonalities, and shared tactics in responding to criticism. A Thread on the Nexus of Hindutva and Zionism

The exoneration of Majid Freeman @Majstar7 by Leicester Crown Court is a nail in the coffin of Hindutva propaganda around the 2022 Leicester unrest. Attempts to whitewash Hindutva’s role by weaponising a lower-court conviction have now collapsed. We heartly welcome the verdict
